Folktale The Lion For Real Orange Wine is an artisanal, skin-fermented white blend crafted through a multi-vintage solera process that began in. This natural wine combines Chardonnay, Riesling, Grenache Blanc, and Viognier, fermented on their skins and aged in neutral French oak to develop complexity and texture. Aromas of mandarin orange blossom, honeysuckle, and ruby red grapefruit unfold into notes of apricot, canned peach, graham cracker, and white tea, finishing with a rustic touch of hay and floral nuance. Unfiltered and unadulterated, it's a vivid reflection of Folktale's experimental winemaking artistry.

Description

Wine Tasting Notes
Grapes for this unique blend come from a variety of white wine varieties across four different vintages. Starting in 2017, Chardonnay and Riesling grapes were fermented on their skins in small batches, and aged in neutral French oak. In 2018, Chardonnay and Grenache Blanc grapes were used, and blended with the 2017 vintage in the summer of 2019, creating our first release of The Lion for Real, 2 year solera. At that time, we decided to bottle half of the wine we made and keep half to be blended into the next vintage - allowing us to continue the Solera. Since then, we have introduced Viognier grapes and continued the unique project, now a 4 year blend, and containing a part of every vintage of this special and unique wine. Un-fined, unfiltered, and unadulterated. Natural in every sense of the definition. Bottled July, 2022.

Mandarin orange blossom, honeysuckle, Ruby red grapefruit, graham cracker, apricot, narcissus, white tea, canned peach, and hay.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips
  • Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
  • Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
  • Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
  • Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
